Other topics to be explored/introduced: "CSS Pipeline Coordination" It is often a struggle to allocate resources across teams. The real challenge becomes prioritizing the work and feeling like we can effectively respond to requests. So, anicpating some some trail and error, CSS could attempt to instituted a weekly pipeline meeting where we look at current work and planned work over the next month to 6 weeks. CSS HQ could lead this effort. It is a forum to discuss deadlines, slippage, reshuffling of priorities due to "emergencies", and problems in juggling work that a team might want advice or feedback on. The result of each agenda is a series of action items for particular staff. The meeting would focus on resource allocation, as opposed to addressing particular approaches or solutions. To start, all CSS managers could be present for this meeting, as well as designated team members (usually team leads). But we can experimenting with rotating attendance from the teams to have some fresh minds at the table, particularly when their project is going to be a priority over the coming months. |
